There are three full bathrooms. Two full bathrooms are located on the first level, one being an ensuite bathroom for the master-suite bedroom. The third full bathroom is located on the 2nd level. This bathroom has the breezy, easy access of an outdoor shower, opening to the penthouse terrace with a spectacular ocean view. The view from the breezy shower is an experience to live and enjoy.

Palma Vista is an exclusive and secure gated community, very private (only 30 Villas) that boasts two communal pools, a children’s play area and a gazebo. Palma Vista is adjacent to El Conquistador Resort and Las Cabezas de San Juan.

The panoramic views from the villa and the terrace are beautiful. From the front, Las Cabezas de San Juan, The Lighthouse, Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. From the back are impressive panoramic views of El Yunque National Rain Forest and the Puerto Rican mountains and beautiful views of the countryside and its flora. The sunset and sunrise from the top terrace are exquisite. Please view our video taken on the Penthouse Terrace.

One of the top beaches on the island of Puerto Rico, Seven Seas Beach is a popular beach for families and for snorkeling around the adjacent coral reefs, and various water sports. The clear waters are teeming with vibrant tropical fish around coral reef areas. Seven Seas Beach is also extremely safe for children, as offshore reefs protect the beach from waves and currents. The region is part of the National Parks System and is considered a 'World Blue Flag Beach'. To obtain the Blue Flag distinction, a beach must comply with a set of very strict standards in terms of water quality, safety and services, environmental education and information. Blue Flag Beaches are continually monitored for water and land environmental safety.

Seven Seas Beach, with spectacular blue waters and a beautiful sand beach is located at Las Croabas, Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

In addition to being located directly at Seven Seas Beach, which means you do not need a car to get to the beach, only minutes away and within easy walking distance, are the beautiful beaches of Playa Escondida (Hidden Beach), Playa Colora (Red Beach) and Governor's Beach, which are three of the most secluded beaches you can find. This means that it is a romantic spot, it's certainly a great place for snorkeling and just to relax. Playa Escondida means 'hidden' and Playa Colora 'hot/red beach' in Spanish. For it to be hidden, and virtually unused, it is in an out-of-the way place — you must walk about 20 minutes via a trail through a mangrove forest to get there. But the prize is worth it — finding a pretty, secluded strip of beach like this one is always a pleasure. Also, the Governor's Summerhouse is at Playa Escondida. Playa Escondida is very safe for snorkeling, swimming and/or just to contemplate the beautiful panoramic views in very calm waters.

Several nearby islands like; Icacos, Palomino and Palominito provide even more opportunities for fantastic snorkeling, hiking and exploring. Local companies or at local Marinas you can get and organize guided tours to take you for a fun day. Especially popular are the Kayak Tours of the Bioluminescent Laguna Grande, which is in Seven Seas Beach and next to Palma Vista Villa. Also 7 minutes by car and in the town of Fajardo ferryboats can take you to Vieques and Culebra, with more places to explore and World-renowned beaches to enjoy. Vieques and Culebra can also be reached by air from Ceiba Airport. Ceiba Airport, which is a 20-minute drive from Seven Seas and Palma Vista Villa, also services flights to other nearby island such as the US Virgin Islands. Air Flamenco operating from Ceiba airport offer flights to San Juan, Arecibo, Ponce and the islands of Culebra, Vieques, St Thomas, St Croix, Tortola, St Martin, Anguilla and the Dominican Republic. Seeing more of the island is easy when you take a side trip to see its natural attractions as a part of a day at the beach. A perfect example is El Yunque National Rainforest, which is 22.8 km (14.2 miles) from Seven Seas Beach and Palma Vista Villa. The variety of places with the best seafood you will enjoy is overwhelming using local fresh ingredients and produce and always a perfect service and a smile. From local traditional cuisine to international high-end restaurants at the Waldorf Astoria El Conquistador Resort, just 2 km (1.2 miles) from Palma Vista Villa.

Why Kevin Sherratt chose Las Croabas

Seven Seas Beach on the East Coast of Puerto Rico, where Palma Vista Villa is located, is in our opinion, one of the most beautiful parts of Puerto Rico, and is home to some of the best tourist attractions the island has to offer, such as El Yunque National Rain Forest and the Bio-Luminescent Bay. As well, the nearby Fajardo Ferry terminal provides easy access to the islands of Vieques and Culebra. The nearby Ceiba airport provides regular flights to the US Virgin Islands, Vieques, Culebra and San Juan.
The villa is quiet and peaceful - from the front you have wonderful panoramic views of the beach and ocean, from the rear you can see the Puerto Rican mountains and El Yunque National Rain Forest. There are some great local restaurants to dine and the villa is next to the El Conquistador Resort.
At this villa you do not need a car to get to the beach because you are literally at the beach!

VRBO Bear Stay review

May 28, 2014

The Palma Vista Villa in Puerto Rico is adjacent to a cove on Seven Seas Beach, offering striking views of the coastline and the mountains of the rainforest from a beautifully furnished rooftop terrace. It’s located close to many attractions, including the opportunity to lounge in the shade of a palm tree on virtually private beaches. Snorkel the coral reefs, tie up a hammock while enjoying local refreshments, and enjoy fresh local fare. Listen to the sounds of waves lapping and the little frog, the Coqui, sing in the sunset.
The Palma Vista Villa is a comfortable and complete setting for a relaxing getaway without ever leaving the villa, but there is so much to do nearby! Explore the nearby rainforest for a casual hike or drive. Our bear family chose to hike to the top of the mountain and picnic while taking in breathtaking views of the rainforest rolling out to crystal blue shorelines. Later we explored the waterfalls that cascaded down the mountains of the rainforest. In the evening we took a starlit tour of the Laguna Grande and experienced a moonlit mangrove forest with bioluminescent water that left us in awe of the wonders of nature. Watch fish splash in phosphorescent blue schools across the lagoon and see your own hand light up the water, truly amazing.
The white sand beaches of nearby Palamino Island and the isolated snorkeling grounds were something to behold. We dove with fish of all colors, discovered conchs and schools of brightly colored fish in the coral. The island is fully staffed with tropical drinks and food. Close to the Palma Vista Villa, you could choose to spend a morning or the entire day (as we did) with enough time to return to the Villa, relax and whip up some daiquiris with world famous Puerto Rican rum.
The Villa is spectacular, with finely furnished indoor and outdoor spaces with everything you need to cook, relax, and refresh. It’s an incredible space, with both the opportunity for privacy and places to gather, eat, drink, enjoy or play. The décor is tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen has modern conveniences for preparing a fine meal for a bear family. The bedding and towels are high quality with everything you need for a beach day including a cooler, beach chairs, and a portable awning.
The staff and owners were extremely professional, friendly, and welcoming. All of the information about the area and local knowledge was well documented and gave us information we needed to truly see the best aspects of the area. The owners and staff were willing and available to answer any questions we had. We hope to return and that you also take this opportunity to experience the luxury, adventure, and relaxation that we found at the Palma Vista Villa.

The property is as described and had no disappointments. My favorite part of the condo was enjoying the sunset over the mountains on the patio with the provided stereo and a bottle of wine. Staying here allowed us to have an authentic Puerto Rican experience, with local food and local/public beaches. We traveled with our baby and two children, and the proximity to the beach and balcony views allowed us to enjoy ourselves even when the baby was napping, and the pool was a great way for the older kids to unwind after a day at the beach as either my husband or myself got the baby ready for bed. We enjoyed a mixture of dining out and using the grill, and as I mentioned, the Mountain View at sunset made grilling on the patio a great option. We appreciated the DVDs on hand and the Netflix availability. This allowed our kids to relax in the mornings, and kept us from missing the NFL games we were interested in. We recorded the games, spent the day at the beach, then were able to watch the games in the evening.

Wonderful property! Decorated beautifully, steps from the water & pool, plus several sitting arrangements (inside, outside, in sun, in shade) that made it easy to sit, relax and enjoy the company. Kevin, Jay and Xiomara were friendly, provided lots of suggestions, and were readily available if needed. We were 3 friends, just looking for a long weekend to catch up, and this was perfect--each had our own bed and bath; we could cook (typical kitchen items provided); and we could relax! We would definitely recommend and definitely return if we get the chance.

On a recent project trip, with a crew, it was cheaper to look at condos than hotels for us. We found this property on VRBO and immediately booked it for the first week of the project, intending to go to San Juan on the weekend and then check out another condo for the next week. When we arrived and got to look in person at this fantastic place, we changed our plans and were able to book for the entire time we were there.

Looking around, there were nice beach chairs and umbrellas and towels, ready for use on the beach, which was just across the road! The master bedroom, the living area and of course, the rooftop patio had a view of the ocean.and the pool. We were going to cook in the unit and most VRBO's I have rented have garage sale quality dishes and cookware.....not this one. Nice pots and pans, nice dishes, plenty of bowls, pitchers, cocktail shakers, coffee makers...you name...it was there. There were even a bunch of spices, coffee, tea bags, cooking oil, etc already in the condo.

The onsite manager was very gracious and made sure we were happy and satisfied with the condo, responding to questions via text very quickly. Also the owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had, particularly when we were asking about extending our stay.

We were slightly taken aback by the requirement that you use no more than 50kw of electricity per day but the manager assured us it would not be a problem if we simply shut down the AC when we weren't in the condo and she was absolutely correct! The AC units in each bedroom and the main living area quickly cooled the interior when we returned each day from work. By the time we had our first pina colada made.....it was already time to lower the fan speed on the AC...lol.

I would HIGHLY recommend staying at this condo for your visit to Puerto Rico. I have another two week trip to do to finish the project and you can bet I will be renting here.

We LOVED this villa. . . it's very modern and absolutely beautiful! Everything in it is perfect. . . the kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you could possibly need. The bathrooms look like a photo from a magazine and have nice toiletries and plenty of fluffy towels. The beds were very comfortable. The deck upstairs is an awesome place to relax and view the ocean, or use the grill. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and even a cooler for us to use. And having Apple TV was great! The Manager was very quick to respond when we had questions and was very friendly. I truly can't think of anything negative to say about this villa, and highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed the condo especially the rooftop patio. Kind of had everything when could possibly need to prepare a meal and or relax him some comfort. Although it’s a popular beach in Puerto Rico the beach was lacking in my opinion however that is the only piece of the condos say that I did not care for Rented a car so there are other beaches to go to rather than staying at the beach across the street. I absolutely would recommend this condo and the absolutely would stay there again if I travel back to Puerto Rico.
